| It all depends on the body. I had a 9lbs2oz baby (and 22 inches) and she was a little too big for me. Although I had her vaginally after a long labor, 4th degree tearing and a forceps delivery. Still pretty uneventful and a fast recovery. My friend had a 10lbs+ baby without a problem. For some women 7lbs is already too large ... it all depends.
I gave birth to 15 1/2 lbs (7kg) of twin, so yes I was huge and they were a great size for twins and still 12 days early. Next u/s can be off. I heard too many stories about babies who were estimated to be large, taken earlier (not without risks) and they end up being fairly normal / average size. |
